520399 2007-01-29 19:50:00 I've been going through the comparison of these two versions, to figure out which one I need. I'm leaning towards Home Premium at this stage, except for one thing that I need clarified.

Remote Desktop. In all the comparisons I've read, Remote Desktop is available in Ultimate, but not in Home Premium.

Now does this mean that I can't log into my work PC from my Home Premium PC using Remote Desktop (which I currently do from the XP Pro PC into my work PC). Or is it the other way around - that I can't log into my Home Premium PC from another PC using Remote Desktop?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers,
Mike.

520400 2007-01-29 20:34:00 I would say if it hasn't got Remote desktop, you wont be able to log into another from it .

Or log into it from a remote location . So it wont work either way .

Unless MS make some kind of program (like they did with previous versions), but that only let other versions of Windows use Remote desktop from that computer .

You couldn't access them remotely from something like XP Pro .

520402 2007-01-29 21:40:00 I have (finally) found a definitive answer to my question (windowshelp.microsoft.com). I can connect into my work PC via Remote Desktop from my Home Premium PC. I cannot connect into Home Premium using Remote Desktop.

Cheers,
Mike.
